Just make sure that there's no mustard! For Pocahontas, we'll be having all sorts of things made from corn (or gold!), some biscuits (the tasty kind, not the ones they have on ships), and grog! For The Lion King and a bug's life, I think we'll make dirt (the pudding/Oreo thing) with gummy worms. For Fun and Fancy Free, we will all be sharing a single bean. Not sure how that will work yet. : ) (And wasn't the theme of the live action part a birthday party? We could do something with that) And for Ichabod and Mr Toad, in addition to the Thanksgiving leftovers (assuming we can time it right, which shouldn't be too hard), we can have toad in a hole!

Try and time it with somebody's birthday so you can have an extra special dinner/movie night!
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Oooh! Those are good ideas. I think we will definitely be able to come up with something interesting for those. And for those of you playing the home version, we had the first round of Dinner and a Movie on Sunday night. We watched Snow White and Pinocchio, and had Stromboli (from Pinocchio) for dinner. For dessert, we had blackberry pie, since I couldn't find gooseberry pie (which Snow White cooks for the dwarves) at the grocery store (shock!). We also had Poison Appletinis and Snow White Russians for the beverage portion of the evening. The food was really good, but it did take most of the afternoon to make (though it did make me a lovely dinner tonight, and I have at least another one to go). It's been about a year since I'd seen either of the films, so it was good to see them again. There are a lot of great sight gags in Snow White that I had forgotten about, and I never really realized how many great lines Jimminy Cricket has ("What would an actor want with a concience anyway?"). It will probably be at least 2 weeks before we do the next round, but I'm really excited for Fantasia (and maybe Dumbo and Bambi, depending on how we split them up, since we want to do Saudugos Amigos and Three Caballeros together).

So that leaves us with a wine and cheese party, which sounds nice and classy, but we might want something a little more substantial. We could eat chopped up brooms or monks with lanters or something, but those just don't seem too tasty. Any ideas?

Originally Posted By Dabob2 Pity they don't still make Fantasia ice cream. Anything with Chinese mushrooms would be a natural. Ostrich meat is actually quite good, if you can find it.

A deadly combination for me anyway since I have a genetic weakness for childrens books and cupcakes. My sisters have the same weakness so it must be...
